Progression-Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1: Overall
PFS: time between first injection of avelumab and the date of disease progression (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: at least a 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study (including baseline sum if that was smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must have also demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm). Unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions and if overall tumor burden increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy was also considered PD.

Change From Baseline in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)/Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -Bladder Symptom Index-18 (FACT FBlSI-18) at Week 6, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24: Overall
The NCCN/FACT FBlSI-18 was a self-administered questionnaire to assess participant's bladder cancer-specific symptoms using a 'core' set of 18 questions. It included four subscales: Disease related symptoms-physical subscale with 9 items, disease related symptoms-emotional subscale with 2 items, treatment side effects subscale with 5 items, general function/well-being subscale with 2 items. The response to each of the 18 questions was evaluated using a 5-point scale ranging from 0='not at all' to 4='very much'. For items negatively framed, scores were reversed for analysis so that higher scores indicated a higher degree of bladder symptoms. Total score ranged from 0 to 72, where higher scores indicated a higher degree of bladder symptoms. This outcome measure was planned to be evaluated only in prospectively included participants. Baseline was defined as the time of avelumab initiation.

Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score at Week 6, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24: Overall
The EQ-5D-5L was a participant-completed questionnaire with two parts: the EQ-5D index score and the visual analogue scale (VAS). The index score measures health across five dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression-each rated on five severity levels from 1= no problems to 5= extreme problems. These responses form a five-digit health state score ranging from 11111 (no problems) to 55555 (extreme problems), which was then converted into a single utility EQ-5D-5L index score between 0 (death) and 1 (perfect health) using a weighted formula from the EQ-5D official website, where higher EQ-5D-5L scores signified better health. Baseline was defined as the time of avelumab initiation.
